According to the Mass Media reports, defendant Gourguen Yeghyazaryan
announced in a press-conference held yesterday that Vrezh Nikolyan,
who is accused of ordering "hedgehogs", is a relative of Mr. Aghvan
Hovsepyan. Such information is an obvious lie and does not correspond
to the reality.

There are no friendly or family ties between Vrezh Nikolyan and the
Prosecutor General, and such statements are the product of morbid
imagination.

A. Hovsepyan is familiar with the accused as a fellow-townsman like
many others, including such activists who pursue different political
views.
